Hello everyone, thank you very much in advance.

I'm building a file server with Truenas Scale, I'm buying the parts little by little. I live in Brazil, here it is difficult to buy good quality devices at a fair price without paying a lot of tax.

My current configuration (parts in transit)
- X99 F8 motherboard (Huananzhi)
- Intel Xeon E5-2696 V3 (18 cores/36 threads)
- 128GB RAM (32GB x 4/ 2400Mhz - Samsung ECC Memory)
- 3 Sata 16TB Seagate Iron Wolf hard drives (Data pool)
- 2 Sata HDs 480GB Intel S3510 (Pool VM)
- 2 NVME 16GB Intel Optane SSDs (Boot)
- 1 PCIe Network card Intel I350-t4 (4 gigabit port)
- 1 Switch D-Link DWS-3024 (Very used) 24 gigabit ports POE (energizing video intercom and future access points)
I will use this server to save files from 3 notebooks (mine, my wife and my daughter), back up photos from 3 Android cell phones, use a virtual machine for PFsense, use Pihole as a DNS server, Home Assistant for a smart home.
I would like criticism and suggestions for this configuration, if I need to improve something, change something or discard something.

Sorry for my bad English, i use google translate

Thank you all.

I forgot to comment, the Intel NVME SSD is the M10, another thing, I have two used video cards in storage, an NVidia Quadro 4000 2GB and a GTX 750 1GB in case I need a card in the future to use PLEX or another media server.
